Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

430 People on the Same Boat

Shangguan Patriarch had thought that as long as he was still alive, Yun’er would have a smooth life.

However, he did not expect that he would encounter an accident in the Secret Realm.

Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Patriarch’s expression and said, “I think you should have guessed what happened, right?”

Shangguan Patriarch did not speak. Dong Xi continued, “I’m just as worried about Yun’er as you are. Father-In-Law, we’re on the same boat.”

“Do you think I’m that gullible?” Shangguan Patriarch asked. “Tell me, what do you want?”

“What do I want?” Rui Ming said disdainfully. “I can kill you with a casual wave of my hand.”

“You…” Shangguan Patriarch said.

It had been many years since anyone had dared to speak to Shangguan Patriarch like this.

Dong Xi said, “Father-In-Law, you don’t have any spiritual power now. We can help you recover your spiritual power and save Yun’er, but we need you to do something. Are you willing?”

Shangguan Patriarch looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Patriarch said, “Can you save Yun’er?”

Dong Xi did not panic at all and said meaningfully, “My Senior Brother has recovered. Yun’er’s heart…”

Although she stopped mid-sentence, she had already said what he needed to say. Shangguan Patriarch’s expression was very ugly. He said, “You dug out Yun’er’s heart?”

He clearly revealed the anger with his tone.

“No,” Dong Xi shook her head and said, “A day as husband and wife is a hundred days of love. Besides, I can’t be as fierce as you, Father-In-Law.”

Shangguan Patriarch’s expression immediately became better. Dong Xi continued, “It’s just that the life force in the heart is slowly disappearing.”

“You!” Shangguan Patriarch cursed angrily. “You are all animals!”

“Father-In-Law, how can you say that?” Dong Xi said. “Taking back your own things makes you a beast?”

Dong Xi kept calling him Father-In-Law, which made Shangguan Patriarch even angrier. He clutched his chest and said, “You said that you deliberately snatched the embroidered ball back then?”

“It’s really not like that. Everything is arranged by fate,” Dong Xi waved her hand and said.

Shangguan Patriarch’s expression was extremely ugly. Dong Xi continued, “Father-In-Law, I wonder if you’ve heard of the Crane Clan’s Curse?”

When Shangguan Patriarch heard this, his expression became even uglier.

In an instant, everything that had happened to the Shangguan Patriarch during this period of time could be explained.

“Since you’re here for revenge, just come to me. Don’t hurt my daughter,” said Shangguan Patriarch.

“The one who hurt your daughter is someone else. Don’t you want to get better and protect your daughter?” Dong Xi shook her head.

Shangguan Patriarch fell silent. He knew that he had no other choice.

Due to the Crane Clan’s curse, the Shangguan Patriarch could not display even a ten-thousandth of his strength. If the news of him becoming a cripple was made known to outsiders, those opponents would definitely make a move against the Shangguan family.

Therefore, even if Shangguan Patriarch knew that it was a trap set by the two of them, he had to jump into it.

This was an open scheme.

Shangguan Patriarch was silent for a long time before he said, “What do you want me to do?”

Dong Xi said, “It’s very simple. The one who tied the bell has to undo it. From now on, you can acknowledge Senior Brother Rui Ming as your Master. Perhaps he can undo the curse on you.”

As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, Shangguan Patriarch frowned and said, “Impossible.”

Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Patriarch and said with a smile that did not quite reach her eyes, “Father-In-Law, think about it. If my Senior Brother is no longer willing to take in servants, you won’t have any chance to recover.”

Shangguan Patriarch felt extremely upset. Dong Xi continued, “What’s wrong? You could dig out my Senior Brother’s heart, and now you can’t accept being a servant? Sooner or later, you’ll have to pay the price.”

Shangguan Patriarch was extremely unwilling. If he were to worship the crane as his Master, who knew how these two would torture him?

“Junior Brother, let’s go,” Rui Ming said straightforwardly. “I told you before that we don’t need any servants.”

It was a restriction set up by Shangguan Patriarch, so he was still very confident.

However, he did not expect that Dong Xi would stop Rui Ming when he saw that he was about to destroy the restriction.

Rui Ming looked at Dong Xi in confusion. Dong Xi said, “Senior Brother, why do you need a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken? Just let Songsong do such a small thing.”

In front of the two of them, Dong Xi took out Songsong with a smile.

Dong Xi grabbed Da Niu’s leg and took both out together.

The disobedient little fellow was suddenly dragged out by Dong Xi.

The surrounding light made Songsong feel a little uncomfortable. Songsong blinked and saw everything around her. She immediately cried out with tears in her eyes.

Songsong’s voice rang out in Dong Xi’s mind. Songsong said, “Little Xi, can Songsong be out in the open? Are you going to give Songsong a status?”

Dong Xi, “…”
